Summary:
The city of Strasburg, Illinois is home to two schools: Stewardson-Strasburg Elementary School and Stewardson-Strasburg High School, both part of the Stewardson-Strasburg CUD 5A district. While the elementary school performs reasonably well, the high school stands out as a clear academic leader, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Illinois high schools with a 4-star rating and exceptional student outcomes.
Stewardson-Strasburg High School boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average, and its students excel on standardized tests, with 38.7% proficient or better in SAT Math and 19.3% in SAT English Language Arts, exceeding state averages. The high school also shines in science, with 80.6% of students proficient on the ISA test, compared to 53.2% statewide. In contrast, while the elementary school performs reasonably well, its test scores and statewide ranking have been more variable.
The data suggests the district is effectively allocating resources, with the high school spending more per student and achieving stronger academic results. However, there are areas for potential improvement, such as addressing the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, particularly at the elementary school, and focusing on reducing the higher chronic absenteeism rate at the high school level. Overall, the Strasburg school district appears to be performing well, with the high school standing out as a standout institution in the region.
